Those ftp_quit() related errors are not important. They happen with some ftp servers. Perhaps you server admin has changed ftp server software?

About "UPLOAD FINISHED WITH ERRORS": track down ftp messages and see what it reports and where the error may be.

Do graphics module tests and see if they run ok.

The Module test all works fine, I get errors when I test the FTP server Setup, its runs for a long time, and these are the errors.

CONNECTION (ftp address): FAILED Reason:
and the rest have error "FAILED Reason: ftp_put() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given"

I do remember having a similar problem, I don't know if it is the same problem when I had a single quote in some of my text, I have checked my descriptions I have entered and can't find any single quotes, is there a fix for special characters like single quaotes and & ect. Just in case that is the problem.

I spoke to my Hosting company and they reckon that the FTP server is working fine. PLEASE HELP!

The error you get means that ftp has not connected when ftp put command is given. It has nothing to do with quotes (they are handled by totally separate system). There is a resource cache in PHP which sometimes messes up, maybe that is what happens there.

I have internal ftp system in EE 1.5 RC. The RC is not fully finished yet (small stuff missing here and there) - internal ftp and upload system using it are done. If you want to give it a shot mail me pekka@photography-on-the.net you ftp info, I'll go there and install the new version so we can see how that works. I bet it solves the problem nicely because it bypasses PHP's ftp module completely (there are many odd problems with php module, like the one you have now). If for some reason internal ftp does not work either in your system I can find the reason and tune it up because that code is fully mine.

Pekka,
Thank You very much, I have sent you my details via email.

OK as I thought the PHP's ftp connect function in your server is haywire - nothing wrong with the server, it is purely PHP function's problem or bug: the identical tests work ok from my home, but not when run in your server.

Your ftp server software PureFTPd 1.0.12 is configured to talk back all responses like Shakespeare and I adjusted my own ftp code for that behaviour. Everything seems to work now fine from here with internal ftp code. I'll set up the EE for you during this evening (it is now 5pm here) and we'll see how it goes on from there.
